2. Work
Rem realized that he was a rock and panicked because he couldn't move and he also felt that the system wasn't there. "System! System! Are you there?!".
"I'm here sir, how can I help you?" He replied mechanically. "Why can't I move? Where am I?"
"Welcome to the Soulvain continent, right now you are somewhere in the entire continent, which by the way, has a thousand times more population and size than Earth," the system said. "Am I not on Earth anymore?"
-No, you are not on Earth anymore. -Then upon hearing this Rem said. -Will I ever see my family again? -He asked trying to find an answer but the system didn't respond.
Although this upset Rem, he knew that he had no choice but to survive in this world but how would he do it if he became a rock in the middle of the desert he didn't know he was in?
-System, why did you reincarnate me into a rock? I'm sure that sooner or later I will die because of what you have done! He complained. -It is impossible for you to die. -The system said.
"What?!".
"It is impossible for you to die," the system said again. "How is that possible?", Rem asked in disbelief. "Due to the synchronization with the system you have become immortal with no possibility of reincarnation or destruction."
Rem still couldn't believe it, the fact that he was immortal he didn't know whether to feel happy or sad, so he remained thoughtful not about why he was immortal but about why he didn't feel happy or sad.
- How strange that I don't feel happy or sad as if I could express... emotions?... System! He shouted. - Sir, calm down, an effect of transferring consciousness to objects is the dispersion of emotions and this effect is temporary so I had to block them permanently.
This surprised Rem a lot who didn't know what to say so he thought and thought for a while until a notification took him out of his state.
Congratulations, you have obtained 50 points due to the absorption of ambient temperature, the following skill has been unlocked: Multiple Thinking.
“Multiple Thinking? What is that?” asked Rem. “It refers to the ability to put all your attention on different things at once multiplying your analytical ability, you can improve this skill with points.” The system said.
“But I am not doing absolutely anything, how do I get those points?” asked Rem. “Through the absorption of ambient temperature, your mission.” The system replied: “How is that possible?”
“Natural stones absorb ambient temperatures such as heat and cold, and due to the type of rock it now inhabits, it will take a long time to break, but once broken, your absorption supply will be shortened and you will lose half of the energy obtained.”
This alarmed Rem, who asked: “What would happen if I lost my energy supply and couldn’t get another?” The system replied, "In the worst case scenario, you wouldn't have access to the shop and would be stuck indefinitely until something happens. Also, I suggest you stop thinking so much and act, otherwise it will be harder for you to get ahead."
"The absorption notification is locked, but if you want, I can unlock it or set a specific absorption number that I sent you a notification for."
At this recommendation, Rem stopped overthinking and started acting. "Set an absorption number of 150."
"I UNDERSTAND."
Then Rem started thinking.
"How can I put this rock down so as not to shorten my energy supply? Uhn, it's quite annoying. What the heck should I do? Let me analyze my situation."
"I'm standing on a rock that absorbs an amount of energy indefinitely, it's like I started feeling it when my first skill was unlocked, I think the absorbed temperature is converted into points used for the system store, but right now this rock is the only thing I have as a supply, Ugh what the heck can I do?! If only I had a way to transport myself to another rock... Transport myself to another rock!".
He discovered the solution to his biggest problem at that moment.
"System, do you have a skill that allows me to transport myself to another rock?".
“Yes sir, there is a skill that allows teleportation. The system says so.
It then showed a panel with 5 skills at different costs.
Basic Consciousness Transport: 1,000 points.
Beginner Consciousness Transport: 100,000 points.
Intermediate Consciousness Transport: 15,000,000 points.
Advanced Consciousness Transport: 130,000,000 points.
Omniscient Consciousness Transport: 1,000,000,000 points.
The amount of points it cost was exorbitant and before I could ask, the system said, “The basic skill allows one use and a cooldown and furthermore, it has different conditions like whether the target is alive or not, meanwhile, the omniscient level skill allows teleportation and absolute control over the target The target, even if it is alive or not, also has no limits on its use.”
This further piqued Rem's curiosity, so she asked, “What are the conditions for using the basic skill?”
"You can transport your consciousness to objects whose perimeter is no larger than 2 square meters.
"Targets must not have life of any kind."
"The ability has one use and then enters a cooldown state for 24 hours."
"This consumes mental energy and causes wear and tear depending on the weight and size of the object."
This information was very useful for Rem because she already knew the ability that could help her in this situation, but it was also quite troublesome because she didn't have enough energy so she had to act fast, otherwise in a few days or right now, something bad could happen to her.
Although he is a teenager, he knows that being in the middle of nowhere (he doesn't know he is in a desert) and having a stone as an environmental absorption supply is not a very good idea considering he is in a totally unknown environment.
*TINK* Environmental temperature absorption at 150 points.
"State" function has been unlocked.
